rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author michaels22 - They did it. They put both a CD and floppy in the 5000. I have been waiting for this. Too many people have complained too many times about the cable and the rebooting to swap drives. Thank you, Dell.

The 15" screen is quite a surprise...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erimentha - When my last computer died on me, I did a little dance of joy. It was a 1997 Monorail with a 150 PI, 48 megs of RAM, and a dual-scan screen (it wasn't a notebook- it was a small scale desktop like the Gateway Astro). I've been looking forward to an...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author limeygit - After too long dealing with an old refurbished pentium 166 Thinkpad, that had a dingy small screen, and couldn't display more than 256 colors at full screen size I decided to treat myself.

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 23:57:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rlee777 - The Inspiron 5000 is an excellent laptop. I have the 15" XGA screen with the Celeron 450 and with 32MB (I upgraded it to 160MB through www.crucial.com), the total came just under $2000 and for the price, nothing comes close to this for value.
